and worst for poor and minority students On Tuesday President Osama gave a nationally broadcast speech to students about the importance of staying in school He spoke on the first day of classes at a high school in Virginia He talked about personal responsibility and used himself as an example of someone who overcame difficulties My father left my family when I was two years old and I was raised by a single mother who had to work and struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn t always able to give us things other kids had There were times when I missed having a father in my life Their were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn t fit in said President Obama But he told students that problems in their own lives should not stop them from learning There s no excuse for talking back to your teacher or cutting class or dropping out of school There s no excuse for not trying This was not the first presidential speech to students Ronald Reagan spoke from the White House in 1998 and George H W Bush spoke from a school in Washington in 1991 But many conservative criticized plans for the speech Some called it socialized education or federal interference in local schools Others feared it would be too political Some schools decided not to show the speech But the White House released the text on Monday and that calmed a lot of critics On Sunday on the CBS program Face the

industry of the twenty first century There were presently one billion cars on earth in 2010 or about one car for every seven people sales of the automobile industry stand at about a trillion dollars making it the world s biggest manufacturing industry The car and the roads it travels on will be revolutionized in the twenty first century The key to tomorrow s smart cars will be sensors 传感器 We ll see vehicles and roads that see and hear and feel and smell and talk and act predicts Bill Spreitzer technical director of General Motors Corporation s ITS program which is designing the smart car and road of the future Approximately 40 000 people are killed each year in the United States in traffic accidents The number of people that are killed or badly injured in car accidents is so vast that we

accidents It can sense if a driver is drunk via electronic sensors that can pick up alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine The car could also alert the police and provide its precise location if it is stolen Smart cars have already been built which can monitor one s driving and the driving conditions nearby Small radars hidden in the bumpers can scan for nearby cars Should you make a serious driving mistake e g change lanes when there is a car in your blind spot the computer would sound an immediate warning By 2020 as the price of microchips 微芯片 drops to below a penny a

people with metal detectors have been exploring the riverbank They ve found toys that date back to as early as the 1200s And these toys are changing the way historians view medieval 中世纪的 kids lives Before the discoveries many historians thought that there wasn t really such a thing as childhood in the Middle Ages said Hazel Forysth of the Museum of London The Middle Ages or medieval times lasted in Europe from about the year 500 AD to 1500 AD Historians thought that parents didn t pay much attention to their kids because families were often very large Plus many kids died when they were young At the time everyone kids and adults had fairly poor healthcare and diet Children who did survive were often sent to work at the age of six But finding the medieval toys has caused some historians to changed their minds Some medieval parents were very devoted to their children and gave them every luxury and pleasure they could afford Forsyth said Toys like the ones found in the Thames River are very rare Most of these toys are made of pewter a metal that decays very easily But the stinky mud on the Thames riverbank has very little oxygen This lack of oxygen prevents decay and helped preserve the toys Want to see what toys kids played with hundreds of years ago The medieval toys are touring Britain as part of an exhibition called Buried Treasure 用心 爱心 专心8 Finding Our Past These treasures aren t silver or gold But according to Richard Hobbs of the British Museum true treasures are those that shed 散发 light on the past 64 The Thames River in London has been looking a lot like a toy store recently because A there is a toy show at the present B there are many toy factories C people with metal detectors have found toys there D the children in London like playing toys there 65 The discovery of the toys of the Middle Ages shows that at the time A children had poor health care and died B children where given a lot of care and love by their parents C children were often sent to make toys at the age of six D parents didn t pay much attention to their kids 66 Why can the toys of the Middle Ages in Thames River be preserved well till today A There is much of oxygen in the mud where the toys are buried B The toys are all made of pewter that is difficult to rot away C There is very little oxygen in the mud where the toys are buried D The toys are all made of gold and silver 67 What might be the best title for the passage A Medieval to syfound in London Museum B Medieval toys found in Thames River C How were the medieval toys made D How to protect the medieval toys D To the untrained ear monkeys of a certain species may all sound the same but Japanese researchers have found that like human beings they actually have an accent depending on where they live The finding the first of its kind will appear in the December edition of a German scientific journal Ethology to be published on December 5 the primate researchers said Tuesday Differences between chattering by monkeys are like dialects of human beings said Nobuo Masataka professor of ethology at Kyoto University s Primate Research Institute The research team analyzed voice tones of two groups of the same species of primates 灵长类动物 the Japanese Yakushima macaque also known as Macaca fascia yakui between 1990 and 2010 One group was formed by 23 monkeys living on the southern Japanese island of Yakushima and the other group comprised 30 descendants from the same tribe moved from the island to Mount Ohira central Japan in 1986 The result showed that the island group had a tone about 110 hertz higher on average than the one taken to central Japan Monkeys on Yakushima Island have an accent with a higher tone because tall trees on the island tend to block their voice Masataka said On the other hand monkeys on Mount Ohira 用心 爱心 专心9 do not have to gibber with a high tone as trees there are low he said Each group adopted their own accent depending upon their environment This suggests differences in voice tones are not caused by genes Masataka said adding the results may lead to a clue to the origin of human language 68 Monkeys may have different voice tones because A they have different ancestors B they have different genes C they live in different places D they are affected by human beings 69 The writer of this passage mainly wants to A report how people study the origin of human languages B make it clear how the monkey languages develop C explain why people study the language of the monkeys D tell us that monkeys
